Twilio API: Can't download the jpeg file in an MMS

I've built an SMS/MMS Lightning Component in Salesforce that uses Twilio. (You don't need to know anything about Salesforce to answer this question.) I'm able to display incoming MMS images using the MediaUrl provided. For that, I just put the MediaUrl in the img tag in the markup. From there, if I right-click the image, I can save to my computer, and it defaults to the filename used when the file was sent.



Now, I want to add a button to save the image to Salesforce Files (ContentVersion object). To do that, I'm making an HTTP GET call, expecting to get back the data in mime-type image/jpeg -- but instead, I'm getting back this XML response:



<TwilioResponse>
<Media>
<Sid/>
<AccountSid>[myAccountSid]</AccountSid>
<ParentSid/>
<ContentType/>
<DateCreated>Tue, 20 Nov 2018 01:11:04 +0000</DateCreated>
<DateUpdated>Tue, 20 Nov 201801:11:04 +0000</DateUpdated>
<Uri>/2010-04-01/Accounts/[myAccountSid]/Messages/MM96803e1b66cf37deb1bcf044799dbf8c/Media/ME46739a78eb197409a4a031896a22cab7</Uri>
</Media>
</TwilioResponse>


The Twilio docs here say you can get the media in the original mime-type by not including the .xml or .json extension on the URL. I'm not including an extension, and I'm even specifying the image/jpeg mime-type in the header. But still, I get the xml.



So, I can't get the actual media, just xml (or json) data about the media. I saw another thread saying I need to use the Uri to access the data -- but the Uri returned is exactly the same URL I'm calling originally -- the MediaUrl provided when the MMS is received.



Second issue is... how can I get that original file name. The browser knows the file name (it appears by default if I right-click and select Save As...), but I can't see any way to access it through the Twilio API.
